| Description of the problem | My 2004 ford f-150 parking brake doesn't release fully or randomly engages as i'm driving down the road. This makes the truck shimmy badly. I didn't know what was happening when this first started. I took it in to the dealer they said they could find nothing wrong. It happen a number of more times. Finely the parking brake pedal came loose and went to the floor when i tried to engage it. I took the truck back to the dealer they said my parking brake shoes where shot and i must be driving with my brake on. I was not. I paid to have new parking brake shoes and drums turned. About 1 yr. Later i was drive down the highway got a bad shimming again . About two days later my parking brake pedal went to the floor again. At this time i knew the parking brake was the problem. I took it back to the dealer again they still say there is no problem. |
